Good to know this time of year

Thought I’d share a trick to keeping water available to my horses with no power needed. Milk jug or soda bottle 1/2-3/4 full of salt water, jug will float and move the water around, plus, if the surface freezes, the horses will push the jugs down leaving an opening to get a drink! 👏🏻 For large troughs I usually put more that 1 jug.

This is just something that has worked for us in situations where our horses were out on acreage with no power. If you are able to have water heaters where you are, obviously they work best, but it never hurts to share tips and tricks to get us all thru the freezing months. ❄️ We also use this trick with heaters as they cannot keep up with the below zero temps and it helps with the layer of ice that still forms on top!

It’s been consistently 20 degree weather here; we don’t get below 0 here so I can’t say if it will work for temps that low.

* I don’t really measure salt, just a good layer on the bottom of the jug in warm water, then shake it up.
